Globe Scientific 20mL HDPE Scintillation Vial Overview
The Globe Scientific 20mL HDPE Scintillation Vial with Separate White Screw Cap (SKU 101010) gives laboratories a durable, leak-resistant vessel for liquid scintillation counting and routine sample storage. Molded from high-density polyethylene, each vial resists many common reagents while staying lightweight and shatterproof.
A separate white screw cap ships with every vial, letting technicians seal samples securely and reopen them without compromising thread integrity. HDPE construction supports cold-storage workflows and reduces breakage risk compared to glass alternatives during high-throughput handling.
Packaged in bulk cases of 1000, this configuration suits busy radiochemistry, environmental, and clinical labs that consume scintillation vials at volume. Standardizing on one reliable vial simplifies inventory and keeps counting protocols consistent across shifts.

Laboratory Applications
Liquid scintillation counting relies on consistent, reagent-compatible vials, and HDPE scintillation vials are a standard choice for measuring beta-emitting radionuclides in research, environmental, and clinical settings. Their plastic walls support workflows where glass breakage and disposal hazards are a concern.
Beyond radiochemistry, 20mL screw-cap vials serve general sample storage, reagent aliquoting, and short-term specimen archiving. Screw caps create a tight seal for transport and refrigerated storage, while the bulk case format keeps high-volume labs continuously stocked.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the screw caps included with these vials?
Yes. Each Globe Scientific 101010 vial ships with a separate white screw cap, so no additional closure purchase is needed.
How many vials come in one case?
Each case contains 1000 vials, sold under unit of measure CS/1000. This bulk format is built for high-throughput labs.
Why choose HDPE vials instead of glass?
HDPE vials resist shattering, reduce sharps disposal concerns, and weigh less than glass. They are a practical option for scintillation counting and routine sample storage.
